The Blackhawks made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday, highlighted by the call-up of top forward prospect Dylan Sikura from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League. Carl Dahlstrom was also recalled while Alexandre Fortin was sent to Rockford.
In addition, the Blackhawks placed Artem Anisimov on injured reserve (concussion protocol), retroactive to Dec. 9, meaning he is not eligible to return until Sunday, Dec. 16 when San Jose comes to town.
Sikura leads the IceHogs in goals (9), points (18) and shots on goal (90) through 26 games this season, and also has four game-winning goals, which is tied for second in the AHL.
